12 Stars Who Didn’t Age Gracefully

Everyone gets older, and for most of us its not much fun; new wrinkles, grey hairs, and lots of saggy body parts. For others who have followed the tightrope of constant gym and healthy foods, aging takes far less of a toll. Celebrities have a much easier path to staying good looking well into their later years, think of Mr Clooney, the amazing Ms Jolie/Pitt and many more. Sadly for the celebrities in this list, age did not treat them well.

Turner came to fame during the 1980s, after roles in Body Heat (1981), Romancing the Stone (1984), and Prizzi’s Honor (1985), the latter two earning her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. In the later 1980s and early 1990s, Turner had roles in The Accidental Tourist (1988), The War of the Roses (1989), Serial Mom (1994) and Peggy Sue Got Married (1986), for which she was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

Turner was an iconic pinup for a great many years, but in later life allowed herself to balloon in size, leaving her virtually unrecognizable from her younger years.

Apparently ‘dad-body’ is now a thing, its a shame Hamill doesn’t still have the younger physique, but we are excited to see him in the new Star Wars – and no one will begrudge this acting titan a few home comforts as he gets older.

Music critics have acclaimed her musical productions, which have generated some controversy.

Often referred to as the “Queen of Pop”, she is cited as an influence by numerous other artists around the world. We suspect that Madonna unlike everyone else on our list has eaten too much healthy food, and trained too hard, its admirable, but Madonna, perhaps you can afford to slow it down a little now, and enjoy life a bit more.

Bardot was an aspiring ballerina in early life. She started her acting career in 1952 and after appearing in 16 routine comedy films, with limited international release, became world-famous in 1957, with the controversial film And God Created Woman. She later starred in Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 film Le Mépris. For her role in Louis Malle’s 1965 film Viva Maria! Bardot was nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Foreign Actress. Bardot caught the attention of French intellectuals.

She was the subject of Simone de Beauvoir’s 1959 essay, The Lolita Syndrome, which described Bardot as a “locomotive of women’s history” and built upon existentialist themes to declare her the first and most liberated woman of post-war France. What can we say a beautiful, exceptional woman, its a shame that we all have to age!
